Welcome
The media app helps you to manage media and documents that you copy to
compatible wireless and network-attached storage devices. It is available as an app
for mobile devices or in a web browser. At home or on the go, use the media app
whenever you want to enjoy your music, movies, and photos or, review important
documents.
The media app supports a wide range of storage devices. However, your storage

storage devices present a Getting Started tutorial the first time you open the
media app. We recommend to follow the features tour to learn great tips on how
